Kristin’s Osprey

Osprey Ariel Pro 65

Harila carried the women’s specific fit Osprey Ariel Pro to the top of the 14 peaks.

“When climbing high mountains, it’s very important to be equipped with the right gear. I am never without my trusty Osprey backpack. Their backpacks are high quality, reliable and allow me to carry all of the important equipment with me on all of the 8000m mountains. Even when the pack gets heavy, it stays comfortable! I have been using Osprey product for many, many years. For me, they are the best.”
